The post on Salisbury Police Facebook said: "Drivers are urged to remain vigilant when driving around the area this morning - particularly in the area of Tisbury.

"The Nadder River has burst its banks and as a result, a number of roads and bridges in the area are flooded and impassable.

"Please drive to the conditions - we have had multiple calls regarding road conditions and breakdowns this morning and officers, the fire service and council are working as quickly as possible to attend these incidents."
